I don’t agree. I think he just wants mainline Protestant types to like him.) and another is a non ethnic Orthodox convert priest from an evangelical Protestant background

American Orthodoxy, for reasons too complex to enter into right now, will not last very long before it becomes its own brand of Protestant error. The "Orthodox" Study Bible will become their Bible, no doubt.

I guess I have a bit more confidence in the future than you do, Kosta. But I will grant that the main reason the GOA is still an eparchy of Constantinople is the fear of precisely that. American Orthodoxy isn’t nearly mature enough to go it alone. Interestingly, its mostly clerics and some “cradle” Orthodox who seem to favor autocephally. Lay converts seem death on the idea as do most lay cradle Orthodox.
